While Sony’s latest crop of Xperia smartphones haven’t exactly been terrible, none of them really stand out up against devices like the Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II, and the HTC One X and Droid DNA. Despite this, the Japanese company has been able to cement itself in second place when it comes to Android market share — sitting right beneath Samsung.

Rumor has it that Sony’s now looking to take advantage of that position with a new flagship “Xperia 6” handset for 2013. In addition to a 6-inch 1080p display, the device is expected to offer a 13-megapixel camera, 3GB of RAM, and a sizable 3,500 mAh battery. What’s more, it won’t be the only new handset from Sony in early 2013.

HTC announced its unaudited November revenue on Thursday morning, and the Taiwanese company has seen a slight improvement over the figures it issued in October. Its new smartphones have helped it rake in NT$21.2 billion (approx. $729 million).

In case you forgot, today is the day the HTC One X+ and One VX are slated to land on AT&T. While we’re not yet seeing the One VX, the One X+ is live and ready to be purchased.

It looks like the Samsung Galaxy Camera isn’t the only device landing on AT&T this Friday. The upgraded HTC One X+ along with the budget One VX will be available starting November 16 at the cost of $199.99 and $49.99 respectively. Of course those are subsidized prices, and come attached to a two-year contract.

It’s only been a couple weeks since Amazon Wireless dropped the price of the HTC One X to $19.99 (new 2-year contract/customers) and they’re already dropping the price even lower. Lower?! How much lower can they go without giving it away? How’s a penny sound? That’s right, for a penny and a 2-year contract with AT&T, you can grab yourself a brand new HTC One X.
